Multiple source directories with same config and recipients

[anq4]

Hello.
Do anyone know if there is a way to have multiple source directories sharing the same config and recipients.

Multiple hosts in HOST_CONFIG seem to work only in active/standby mode, and we didn't find any way to put multiple directories in DIR_CONFIG

Yes, that is possible.

You could do it as follows: $AFD_WORK_DIR/etc/DIR_CONFIG: [directory] ftp://&[some_host_list]//somedir [files] * [destination] [recipient] sftp://user1@host1//somedir sftp://user2@host2//somedir $AFD_WORK_DIR/etc/group.list: [some_host_list] user1@host23 user3:secret@host6 user5:secret2@host5 AFD will read this as follows: [directory] ftp://user1@host23//somedir [files] * [destination] [recipient] sftp://user1@host1//somedir sftp://user2@host2//somedir [directory] ftp://user3:secret@host6//somedir [files] * [destination] [recipient] sftp://user1@host1//somedir sftp://user2@host2//somedir [directory] ftp://user5:secret2@host5//somedir [files] * [destination] [recipient] sftp://user1@host1//somedir sftp://user2@host2//somedir You must think of &[some_host_list] just as an alias and this may even contain the full directory entry and not just part of it. In $AFD_WORK_DIR/etc/group.list you could also specify it as follows: [some_host_list] ftp://user1@host23//somedir ftp://user3:secret@host6//somedir ftp://user5:secret2@host5//somedir Then the DIR_CONFIG entry should look as follows: [directory] &[some_host_list] [files] * [destination] [recipient] sftp://user1@host1//somedir sftp://user2@host2//somedir So &[some_host_list] can be anywhere in the directory entry or as shown above, stand completely alone.

Hi Holger,
I am SaSà from Italy. Nice to meet you again.
We made several test to use group.list but with no positive results.
Here below some system-log details:

29 13:49:17 Created directory /home/afd/afd_work//files/incoming/@&prova' [@&prova] at line 27 from /home/afd/afd_work//etc/DIR_CONFIG (eval_dir_config.c 2029) 29 13:51:57 <I> Created directory /home/afd/afd_work//files/incoming/@$prova' [@$prova] at line 27 from /home/afd/afd_work//etc/DIR_CONFIG (eval_dir_config.c 2029)
29 13:51:57 Removing /home/afd/afd_work//files/incoming/@&prova' [339b577f] from dir_name_buf structure. 29 13:51:57 <D> Overflow from <0> for $prova. Trying to correct. (fd.c 504) 29 13:53:11 <W> Incorrect url $prova' in /home/afd/afd_work//etc/DIR_CONFIG line 6. Error is: could not find ://. (eval_dir_config.c 910)
29 13:53:11 Removing `/home/afd/afd_work//files/incoming/@$prova' [957a517f] from dir_name_buf structure.

We are using version
1.4.7-4 for development
1.4.7-10 for operation,
We tried both example, but we would like to use the second schema you propose
here below the example
DIR_CONFIG

[directory] aaaabbbb
&[prova] (we used both & or $ with and without parenthesis)

[dir options]
do not remove
store retrieve list
ignore file time > 10800

[files]
*
..... to be continued

group.list
[prova]
ftp://user1:password@host1//path (the same name used in HOST_CONFIG)
ftp://user2:password@host2//path (the same name used in HOST_CONFIG)

may you suggest what is wrong?

best regards
Sa.Sà.

That only works with the new AFD from github. 1.4.7 does not know anything about group entries under [[directory]. Regards, Holger

[anq4]

Thank you very much Holger.

Do you recomend github version for serious production use over last 1.4.7?

[anq4]

Here on github I see a pair of packets, that seem to be both 1.4.8, the fisrt one is unnamed.

on 24 Apr 2017
1.4.8-0.9.beta

on 3 Apr 2016
l

Then there's the ongoing working area.

When I look I see commits on 23rd April, 22nd, 21st, 20th, 12, 4, 3 and so on. All with names. I do not understand where the problem is. Sorry :-( Regards, Holger
